The automobile market is one of the most fiercely competitive sectors in India presently. Each newly presented car has to be more advanced than the previous generation. It should be the latest and fresh, or else, your are simply scuttled out of nowhere.
And then comes the Maruti Suzuki Ignis, a millennial of a kind, a breath of freshness among a fleet of cars that seems to be designed almost on the same platform. In a race for getting the ultimate success, Maruti Suzuki takes a very bold step forward by making a mini car which is inclined towards a funkier outlook. Everything about the Maruti Ignis specifications will make you smile from within. And here is why.
In such a fierce market, the Ignis stands out not only amongst its competitors, but also among the cars within the company’s portfolio.
Maruti Suzuki Ignis vs Celerio vs WagonR
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is definitely more striking than the old school WagonR tallboy and Celerio mini. The foremost thing here is that the price for the base variant of Ignis is equivalent to the mid-spec WagonR and Celerio. But still, Ignis emerges as the victorious here as it features the most powerful engine amongst the three and gets ABS (anti-lock braking system) ISOFIX child safety and dual safety airbags as standard, whereas you get the same features on the WagonR and Celerio top end variants only.
With the norms and regulations becoming stricter day by day, safety concerns are given the priority tag. This makes Ignis the obvious choice amongst the three.
On the other hand, the newest car bows down to its sibling in terms of road friendly terrain and fuel efficiency.
Maruti Suzuki Ignis vs Swift vs Swift Dzire
Undeniably, the Maruti Suzuki Swift has had a very long run in the market and is surely waiting for an update to be served on the plate. Moreover, the Swift hatch and the Ignis belong to the same price segment. Yet, the Ignis holds the upper hand here as well.
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis has been fitted with the newest technology both on the inside as well as on the outside. Even though both the Ignis and Swift are sporty, the former gets the latest LED projector headlamps, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a different dual tone interior.
That said, the Dzire does have a little say on this factor. Despite having an inferior technological affair, the interiors and the boot is much more spacious in the Dzire than in the Ignis.
Maruti Suzuki Ignis vs Baleno vs Vitara Brezza
Now this section is one of the most difficult nut to crack for the Maruti Suzuki Ignis. This is what you may tag as the clash of the titans’, where the battle is evenly poised among cars of the same era.
The number one point here is that the top end variant of the Ignis is equivalent to the mid spec Baleno, which clearly indicates that the former wins this price battle hands down. But there are many other factor that has to be considered before making the final judgement. The Ignis and the Baleno have been made with similar technological specs, but the latter looks better on the outside and feels bigger on the inside. It is the typical big family hatchback with great aesthetics.
On the other hand, the Vitara Brezza is a completely different when compared to the other two. It is like a compact SUV and thus packs in a lot more power than the others. It looks muscular, commanding and conventional compared to the funky, zippy and unconventional Ignis.
Conclusion
The parameters of comparison are vast and stretches far beyond than just the typical competitors. The competition prevails among the siblings as well. After all, if you are more inclined towards buying a Maruti Suzuki car, you will probably not consider any other brand. But yes, you will find it difficult to choose the best one from the wide range of Maruti cars available.
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis, with all its latest features does command superiority among the old runners, but bows down to some extent among the latest cars. Reason? Technological advancements.
Now it depends upon the sole discretion of the buyers to lay their hands on the car that suits them the best.
